Plagiarism at its Worst.

I recently became a member of the Info Barrel.The site impressed me for its quality content and the free and franc discussion being allowed in the forum and the concern and regard shown by the writing community. I am in the pre-approval stage.So far I have submitted five articles in the site and all of them are live in the site.I joined the site two weeks ago. Within this short span of time,to my utter shock, the site has encountered a serious problem.An unknown plagiarist has stolen the popular articles in the site and runs his own premier article site categorizing them into plr and non-categorised articles.He even maintains an archive for old articles.When I mentioned my username, I too could see my latest article in the site. A few members have reported the matter to the Info Barrel admin.But I was also shocked to learn that the authorities who are hosting the domain for the plagiarist cannot do anything about it.The plagiarist is virtually running a parallel site, called leech.hourb creating a devastating effect on the site. Info Barrel has established and reputed writers such as JCMeyer whose monthly earnings is nearing about $ 3000 and there are many others earning more than $ 1000 per month.But they have contributed hundreds of articles in the site and getting residual income.This plagiarism may affect them very little or may not have any impact at all. But When I think about me and many others in the preapproval stage, the so called plagiarism may have a suffocating effect on us, because I am yet to realize even a single penny from my articles.Hence,I am in a dilemma whether I should continue writing in the site or should follow a wait and watch policy.The latter seems to be a viable option at present. It seems that recently Info barrel Admin has taken timely action.That spurious site leech.hourb has been deactivated.Yesterday, I personally tried to enter the site but the server support was not available.Now every writer on the site Info Barrel may have a feeling of security.What they write racking out their brain may not be stolen by any copy cats.Under the modified context and circumstances, I may take further steps to write in the site and cross the preapproval stage.

Introspection of My Progress as a Writer in Infobarrel

Introspection of My Progress as a Writer in Info barrel A writer has to frequently analyze his writing activities as a writer.I have joined two weeks ago as a writer in the Infobarrel.No doubt it is a site known for its quality content.I too hope to submit and get published only quality content in the site. So far I have managed to submit five articles in the Info barrel and got them published.But still I am not satisfied with the number of views my articles getting.Recently I read in a web marketing site, unless you are well known and familiar, your quality content has no meaning or relevance.That means even if my article has quality content, I cannot make much headway, unless my articles get more and more views. Another view is one should just take care of the quality of the content of your article. Then the content will take care of you. While the first point of view is in a way somewhat pessimistic and you are not inspired to write a quality content.The second view seems to be more reasonable and optimistic too.As a writer if I work hard to produce quality content, then gradually you will become a quality content writer and your articles will receive more views and in turn your profile will get noticed frequently. Therefore, at present my duty is to write articles with quality content.Then gradually I will get a due recognition from my readers as a quality content writer.It will be befitting to conclude with the sayings of Bagavadgita:' Do your duty.Do not expect any reward for it.'

The Kolkatta Knight Riders, the Champions of the Indian Premiere League,2012

Just a few days ago, Sharuk Khan, the franchise holder of the Kolkatta Knight Riders faced an ignominious ban imposed by the Mumbai Cricket Association prohibiting him from entering the Mumbai cricket stadium.On 27, May,2012, his team the Kolkatta Knight Riders repaired the damage to some extent by winning the Indian Premiere League cup by defeating the two times champion the Chennai Super Kings by five wickets. Both the teams were in good form.While the Kolkatta Knight Riders reached the final by defeating the Delhi Dare Devils in the first play off match rather convincingly. But it was a circuitous route for Chennai Super Kings, When both Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers of Bangalore are tied with equal points, thanks to Kings Eleven of Punjab, who won their final league match against the Royal Challengers of Bangalore thereby facilitating the Chennai Super Kings to enter the play off round easily. Then Chennai Super Kings in their play off match against the Mumbai Indians scored 187 in their allotted 20 overs. Mumbai Indians could not chase the total and so the Chennai Super Kings won easily. However, it had to play another play off match scoring a mammoth 222 against the Delhi Dare Devils and won it convincingly to reach the final. On 27, May, 2012, at 0800 p.m, the D day began at M.A.Chidambaram cricket stadium, Chennai In a nerve racking final played between two well deserved teams, it was the Kolkatta Knight Riders who kept their nerves won the match in style by scoring 193 for five wickets. When the Indian Premiere League 5 final match began, M.S.Dhoni, the captain of the Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat. Both the openers Mike Hussey and Vijay played steadily and made a century partnership to lay down a solid platform. Then Suresh Raina played a whirlwind knock of 73 in 38 deliveries and in the end Chennai Super Kings set an imposing target of 190 for 3. Narain, the acclaimed bowler of Kolkatta Knight Riders had to concede as many as 49 runs in his allotted four overs. It was a nice batting pitch and it offered no assistance to any bowler. Thanks to the pitch curators who provided a fine pitch for the superb final. Though the skipper of Kolkatta Knight Riders Gautam Ghambhir began solidly, very soon he was out. Then it was Jack Kallis who laid a solid foundation with his steady innings of 62 along with the dark horse Manvinder Bisla who scored 89 in 48 deliveries for the second wicket partnership. Though Chennai Super Kings then managed to capture three quick wickets, it was Manoj Tiwari who had to score 9 runs in the last 6 balls; Darren Bravo was the bowler for the Chennai Super Kings. Despite his tight bowling, Manoj Tiwari scored two boundaries in the last over scoring 192 for five wickets. It was a spectacular win for Kolkatta Knight Riders and they became the champion of the fifth edition of Indian Premiere League. Despite playing their last couple of matches superbly and defeating every team on their way to final, in the end the Chennai Super Kings lost their final and of course, the two time Indian Premiere League champions failed to repeat their feet.

Lok Pal demands probe against the Indian Prime Minister and fourteen members of his cabinet.

Lok Pal demands probe against the Indian Prime Minister and fourteen members of his cabinet. Since the upper house of the Indian Parliament (Rajya Sabha) has referred the Lok Pal bill to a select committee of the members of Rajya Sabha, there was a glimmer of hope that the bill would be scraped through in the just concluded summer session of the parliament. However, the bill was not passed and the parliament session concluded without passing the bill. Meanwhile, the Indian Prime Minister including the foreign minister has just gone to Myanmar for an official tour. Since the fate of the bill is hanging in the balance, the leaders of the Lok Pal movement have come up with a charge against the Prime Minister and fourteen of his colleagues and demanded investigation against them through an SIT headed by retired judges. Though Anna Hazare, the leader of the Lok Pal movement is on a tour of Maharashtra, as guided by him, his colleagues have unleashed a charge against the Prime Minister and fourteen other members of his cabinet on the basis of the concrete evidence provided by the CAG report.While the CAG report charges the Prime Minister with corruption on coal import,besides leveling separate charges against his fourteen cabinet colleagues P.Chidambaram, Kabil Sibal,Pranab Mukerji,Sharad Pawar, Farook Abdullah,Azhagiri and others. The Lok Pal leaders also suggested that apart from investigating the PM and his cabinet colleagues through SIT, the cases against them may also be tried in Fast track courts instead of CBI special courts. Since the bulk of the Indian cabinet members including the Prime Minister and 14 others involved in corruption charges, certainly the chances of enacting the anti corruption ombudsman bill into law is remote.However, the Lok Pal leaders are not willing to leave the Lok Pal bill issue just fizzle out.They are even ready to undergo fast unto death under their leader Anna Hazare till the comprehensive bill gets enacted into Lok Pal law. The untiring efforts of the Lok Pal leaders are commendable and certainly they will draw a golden leaf in the annals of their movement by getting the Lok Pal law enacted in the near future.

My Speech at My Friend’s Wedding.

My Speech at My Friend’s Wedding.

My dear friends, respectable elders, Today, my friend has put me in an embarrassing situation of delivering a speech in his wedding. It is a rude shock to me. I am not used to public speaking. Anyhow I cannot ignore my friend’s legitimate wish. Though we are friends and of the same age, I got married 7 years ago and now I have a son.Being the only son of my parents forced me to get married at a very young age of 20, that was well below the marriage age stipulated by our government. But you had to respond to the challenges of your family by arranging the marriage of your three sisters. I know that you are an epitome of patience. I have no doubt that your marital life will be so smooth and you will be the happiest man in this world. In our school and college days, you had always been jealous at me, just because I was the only son to my parents; I was a free bird and I had no responsibilities in my life just because I had no brothers and sisters; Dear friend I want to say something to you openly; just because I had no any sister or brother at my home, I had been a monopoly at home; enjoyed all alone; I had no competitors. Hence, when I got married, I could not adjust myself with my wife; I could not brook even the slightest way of criticism; you are aware of all these things; just because of my adamant attitude, I had often quarreled with my wife and almost reached the point of no return, I mean I was about to divorce my wife within two years from the date of my marriage; but for your timely intervention and advice, I would have been a divorce by this time. You are such a nice friend and you are not in need of any advice in your life. But I too have something for you by way of advice. As you used to say, for heaven’s sake don’t stop with just one child; have more children, at least two; If you stop with only one child , he will become yet another adamant fellow just like me. Do you know that throughout my life I know only about friendship but I never know what is brotherhood or sisterhood; that is why I could not adjust with my wife and I had all sorts of troubles in my life. That’s all, my friend. I am sorry that I had spoiled this joyous occasion of your marriage and your happy mood. But I felt that it was my duty to express my sincere thanks to you and I would not have had a better chance than this. My best wishes for your happy married life! All the best!
